Upanishads : " The Cream of Vedas"
Vedanta ( Veda +anta i.e; the end of Vedas ) as the literal meaning connotes comprises the philosophical portion of Vedas, called the Upanishads.
Of about 280 Upanishads unearthed so far, 108 have been accepted as authorised texts , and out of them have been commented upon by great Acharyas lika Sri Sankaracharya , Sri Ramanjacharya, Sri Madhavacharya and thus are classified as major.

ISAVASYA UPANISHAD : Mantram : 7.

To get away from the grief is the goal of life that is sought by every living creature, whether man or animal.

Moksham or liberation is the transcendence of the individual beyond the frontiers of sorrow.

Here, the Mantram indicates that beyond the shores of sighs and sobs, lies the land of realisation where the knower experiences in his own Self, the entire universe to be one, which is nothing but his own "Real Nature".

The 'pot-space' can discard all its sense of limitations, imperfections and sorrows only when it rediscovers itself to be nothing but the "universal space".

Each individual wave will have its own sorrows of birth, growth, decay, and death only when it considers itself separate from others; but, on its realisation that it is nothing but the 'ocean in its essential nature', all its sorrows end, and no more shall it have its own delusory idea that it is separate from others.

Thus, a Saint of Realisation, experiencing his own Self shining out through every name and form, expressing Its own dynamism through every circumstance, happy or sorrowful, is eternally in unison with harmony and rhythm amidst the discordant noise of life.

To him are the greatest potencies, the great joys, and the amplest success in life.
